Garden of the Arcane Delights [EP] [PA]

Track data is currently not available.

Performer: Dead Can Dance
Distributor: Ryko Distribution

Notes: This four-song EP, originally released in 1985, finds Dead Can Dance in a period of transition. The spooky, Gothic quality of their debut still hangs heavy on GARDEN OF THE ARCANE DELIGHTS, but there is ample evidence of the group's burgeoning experimentation with unusual instruments, provocative rhythms, and world music influences, all brought together under the hypnotic voice of singer Lisa Gerrard. The 2008 reissue boasts remastered sound, sharpening the album's sonic delirium.

Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard formed Dead Can Dance in the early 1980s in Australia, moving to London before the release of their self-titled debut in '84. Their unique sound bore a dark, gothic feel, but was far more idiosyncratic than that of the goth-rock hordes. Over the years they incorporated Early Music, electronics, Celtic flavors, and various World Music touches, all held together by the pair's trademark vocal blend. Dead Can Dance split up on a high note following their 1996 album SPIRITCHASER, with Perry and Gerrard both going on to solo work, and the latter singing on numerous film soundtracks.
